brilliant! :D that's what i'd imagine myself doing in the shower days after, nice quick thinking from your 14yo self

ahh it's such a funny thing to be able to say "the drugs told me to stop doing drugs".

my first lsd trip told me to love myself more; quite literally too, i was just about to fall into ego death and i saw a second myself in the dark void of mind who faced me and said "love yourself more". One hell of a first trip ngl

goodness how much better the world would be if shakes fist the US government! didn't stop psychedelics research, we could have proper psychedelics assisted therapy by now. An LSD trip on its own already feels like doing 6 months of normal therapy but in the span of 8 hours, and when you intentionally therapise yourself during it? Make that a year of therapy in 8 hours. Imagine what we could achieve if there was a trained professional there to assist you.

yup, it was so deeply annoying when teachers in school told me "stop doodling and focus!" ... like- pick one, i can either keep drawing and be fully focused, or i can stop drawing and zone out after 30s

how do they get the energy to lay new eggs? or grow into full sized moths?

let me guess, the answer was always "no"

beautiful thank you

i think it's at least in part because we have always been taught to see Hitler as a monster instead of a person. We dehumanised him and the entire nazi party so much for many it sounds like a myth instead of history, the take away seems simple - just don't be a monster.

The lesson was - some people are born evil

Instead of - anybody can fall the wrong path and find themselves committing atrocities. Even your friends, even your family, even you

i've been saying this for a long time - Hitler wasn't a monster, he was human just like you and me, and that's a hundred times more terryfing

human bones usually come in sets of 206

why would i trust a company with my files when i can simply make my own backups on my own disks without having to pay ransome (subscription) to access my things

what a brave new world we live in eh?...

same way placebo still works (to a degree) even when you know it's placebo

your subconcious is not logical, and no amount of conscious logic will fully defeat its influence

to think yourself immune is foolish and dangerous, that's when you allow it to work even better as you "logically" explain away every manipulation you were influenced by, and convince yourself you made a decision fully by yourself. The danger gets even hotter when it comes to political propaganda that uses the exact same tricks as marketing
